Hi Danica. I’m in Australia and lost some weight on this diet and need to get started again. Dr. Lewis pointed me in your direction, so tomorrow I’m going to get my act together and start. Lynda

I just have to stay away from the alcohol. Which is pretty easy at home. Tarek doesn’t drink and I’ll make sure I’m the driver when we go out.

Here, the Aussie Xmas is very boozy. You see people on boxing day 26th with black eyes from family punch ups. With the heat 40 degrees Celsius , we tend to go for seafood, but with the British background you have people making fruit cake, trifle (lots of sherry) and cooking pork roasts. Now they are advertising ham with cracking? As a pig farmer I…[Read more]

Hi I’m back.

Just dealing with some family dramas. I think my mother is getting Dementia. but while they are away on holiday I thought I’d give it another go.

My hunger stat has definitely been set lower and I have a changed attitude to food. But I really want to get loosing that 15 kg down to 70kg. So I’m in the right headspace now.

Back on…[Read more]

What I’ve noticed hovering at my current weight is all my skin has firmed up. So I’m looking forward to loose skin again in the next downhill push. I’m sticking to the bars so I dont stress about my bite size for a few days.

So its taken me a while to get me head in the game again. And I really need to focus after 3pm , take my 5 bites, then be done with it. I’m struggling a bit with my usual ice coffee. I prefer it with a dash of milk, so if I’m tempted to keep picking after 5pm, I’m going to make my iced coffee and sit down somewhere.

Many people are commenting on…[Read more]

Hi all,

I haven’t posted for a while as I’m flat out running the feedmill. The weather is warming up here. The drought continues, but pork prices are going up. Yeah!!

Thanks for the posts. I will keep up more posts this week to help my focus.

I’m good for lunch, usually a snickers, but my weakness is tiredness and in the afternoon and boredom ,…[Read more]

Had 2 perfect days and lost 2 pounds. I’m cut up some pizza and weighed it. My serving size was 80gm by eye, so I cut it down to 50gm. I sometimes have trouble with variation of bite sizes, but weighing is my insurance policy. Sticking to the bars at lunch.

When I overeat, I have terrible indigestion, so I just remember how insufferable that is…[Read more]

I have had a bad week this week, but determined to get back on track. Had a few family dramas. I have this horrible Uncle who is a con man and has taken $30,000 from my Auntie who has dementia. So there has been some stress eating, but I’ve organised for my cousin to go power of attorney so it doesn’t happen again. I think everyone has some…[Read more]

I lost 3 pounds last week, which is OK. but I want to try and loose 4-6 pounds again. Many people are commenting on my weight loss, but that is not distracting me at the moment. I just want to get this done. I am enjoying cooking really tasty food and have been packaging the rest and giving it away to the local women’s refuge. I am enjoying the…[Read more]

I’m totally focused this week to loose another 6 pounds. Still having my 5 bites, but being really fussy over what I eat and enjoying the freedom of tasting really good food without the guilt. If its not divine, I’m not eating it. I definitely have more energy, so moving faster around the farm, but still not completely happy as I have some way to…[Read more]

Perfect day yesterday, so back on track.

LOL. If anyone thought that there are not other agendas, usually associated with the almighty dollar, check out Dr. Oz’s trusted partner list.

He’s selling lots of “good” oils?? Maybe snake oils to keep us consuming more than we need.

Hi Sal,

Just had a bad week the previous week, but this week, I’m just focusing in on my 5 bites then out of the kitchen. I don’t have to cook this week. So just heat and serve for the kids. Everyone is noticing my weight loss, but I have to keep focused on the next 10kg. Good luck, it works.

I didn’t loose too much this week. Fell off the wagon over the weekend. So back on the wagon this week. I felt like breaking out. Stress of the drought, had a few drinks. I have no tolerance to alcohol anymore. Trying not to overthink what I am doing and just get on with it.

I hadn’t seen my mother in 5 weeks. She said “you are not going to fall down are you?” I said, “What do you mean?” She was implying that if I get too skinny I will be too weak to stand?? I replied “Actually, I’m able to do more now that I’m more mobile and it’s the exact opposite.” There is always going to be someone who is negative, but I know…[Read more]

Simple is best. Nice to hit those goals hey Chloe!!

LOL.  I agree. There’s no point in naming and shaming. There’s plenty of FA movement on the food channel. Overweight commentators digging into the supersizes. I would prefer to share with my less fortunate associates. I like the “normalize” observation. Media is so much about changing the perception and not the reality or the outcome.

I’m looking forward to just being able to buy womens clothes, not mens clothes. That is going to be a huge relieve to me.

We had this Dr.John tickell in Australia that created “The Great Australian Diet”. He promoted the diet as the healthiest way to live based on Okanawans, Japan, being the longest living people. But he ended up getting brain…[Read more]

As someone who hates being told what I can and can’t eat and watching people really struggle to stay on alternative diets, myself included came to the conclusion that something is wrong. Everyone is still getting fatter in Australia and the government runs these campaigns to get kids and adults to move more to get healthier. And I really struggled…[Read more]
